This is my first time visiting Kauai, even though it's my ninth trip to Hawaii. It's the filming location of Elvis Presley's movie "Blue Hawaii." Memories of my youth come rushing back. I've always wanted to visit here, so I'm overwhelmed with emotion.
I came with my husband, and we are a couple aged 70 and 69. It's said that couples who visit here will find happiness. We took a boat tour that lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes round trip. At the fern cave, we landed and enjoyed hula dancing and music.
There were only two other families of Japanese couples and their daughters who were around the same age as us. Although everything was in English, we had no trouble communicating.
It was a romantic and sacred-feeling place. I tried to upload photos, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
ハワイ9回目にして初めてのカウアイ島。
エルビスプレスリーの映画「ブルーハワイ」のロケ地。
青春の思い出が蘇ってきます。一度訪れてみたいと思っていたので、感無量です。
夫と二人で来ました。70才と69才の夫婦。ここを訪れたカップルは幸せになれるとか、言われています。船に乗って、往復で1時間20分のツアーでした。シダの洞窟では、上陸してフラダンスや音楽を鑑賞しました。
日本人は、私たち夫婦と同じ年代のご夫婦と娘さんのご家族の二組だけでした。
英語だけですが、言葉の不自由はないです。
ロマンチックで、かつ、神聖な感じのする場所でした。
写真が、アップしようとしたのですが、できなくて残念です。
カップルの人は、是非、訪れてください。

Its a cheap, pretty trip down the river and then you get to see a really pretty spot with a little cave and waterfall in a jungle like setting. Id say go. It only takes a couple hours. Guides were sometimes funny, sometimes looked like they were in hell lol, but it didn't matter, it was fun. You should go.

The river cruise to the fern grotto was a lot of fun. The local info shared was insightful and gave us several other sites to see. The entertainment was well done and fun. The walk up to the grotto was beautiful! All in all, a great outing that was a lot of fun.

I was torn between choosing a helicopter or this option, but this was the right choice. I am very satisfied with this experience at this price. The scenery was wonderful. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was fine.

This trip was fine, and thankfully inexpensive. The entertainers seemed to not want to be there. They went through the motions, but weren’t excited. The fern grotto was cool to see, and it was neat to go through a jungle.

The food was excellent. Even though the venue was large and held many people, it was very efficiently organised.
Open bar had a great selection of drinks
The show had a pre- show. the band played while we were having dinner and there were some songs sung by the cast.
The show itself had a great story line and you could tell that the performers are proud to be part of the cast.
You ARE NOT called up on stage. A good thing.
Great value for money as well.

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

Would do this again in a heartbeat! The views were like nothing I’ve ever seen before!
We took our family of 5 (we have 3 boys) my 8 and almost 4 year old loved it but my 2.5 yr old had a hard time. And I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I’m thinking ears not adjusting to the height or maybe even motion sickness. But he did not do good. He’s usually a very very easy going toddler. So keep that in mind if you have young children. I would love to do it again without my kids so I could enjoy the breathtaking views without stress
